Description

他の点において、本発明は、１ページ以上からなるペイントチップ掲載本に関しており、ここで、そのページは複数のカラーツールを含む。上記カラーツールは、以下：（ａ）見掛け上の角度特性を示すコーティングから構成される色票；および（ｂ）色票の少なくとも一辺に直接隣接して配置される窓であって、色票に隣接する一辺の少なくとも５０％の長さを有する窓、を含む。
In other respects, the present invention is directed to paint chips me present consisting of more than one page, wherein the page includes a color tools multiple. The color tool includes the following: (a) a color chart composed of a coating exhibiting an apparent angular characteristic; and (b) a window disposed immediately adjacent to at least one side of the color chart, A window having a length of at least 50% of one adjacent side.

また、本発明は、物品（例えば、修理中の乗物）上のコーティングの色と合わせるための方法に関する。この方法は以下：（ａ）物品の表面に対してカラーツールを置く工程であって、このカラーツールは以下（ｉ）（ｉｉ）を含む工程：（ｉ）見掛け上の角度特性を示すコーティングを含む色票；および（ｉｉ）色票の少なくとも一辺に直接隣接して配置される窓であって、この窓は、色票に隣接する一辺の少なくとも５０％の長さを有する；ならびに（ｂ）上記窓を通して複数の視角で物品の色を観察する工程、を包含する。
The invention also relates to a method for matching the color of a coating on an article (eg, a vehicle under repair). The method includes the following steps: (a) placing a color tool against the surface of the article, the color tool comprising: (i) a coating exhibiting an apparent angular characteristic. And (ii) a window disposed immediately adjacent to at least one side of the color chart, the window having a length of at least 50% of the side adjacent to the color chart; and (b) Observing the color of the article at a plurality of viewing angles through the window.

図１ａおよび図１ｂは、先行技術の特定のカラーツールを示す。1a and 1b show certain prior art color tools. 図２は、本発明の特定の実施形態に従う複数のカラーツールを示す。FIG. 2 illustrates a plurality of color tools according to a particular embodiment of the present invention.

ここで図２が参照され、そこに、本発明の特定の実施形態に一致する複数のカラーツールを含むペイントチップ掲載本のあるページが示されている。本明細書中で使用される場合、「ペイントチップ掲載本」という用語は、複数のカラーツールを含むシート状の紙または他の材料の集合体を指し、ここで、シートが一緒に束ねられ一冊の本となる。特定の実施形態において、「ペイントチップ掲載本」は色相環ではない。
Here, FIG. 2 is referred to, there, a page with a paint chip published book containing multiple color tools that match a particular embodiment of the present invention is shown. As used herein, the term “paint chip publication” refers to a collection of sheet-like paper or other material that includes a plurality of color tools, where sheets are bundled together. It becomes a book of books. In certain embodiments, the “paint tip publication” is not a hue circle.

さらに図２を参考にしながら、図２に示されるペイントチップ掲載本のページは、基材５０上に置かれた複数の色票２０を含むことが分かる。基材５０は、本のページを形成する任意の適切な材料（例えば、紙、プラスチックなど）を含み得る；しかし、最も使用される基材はある種の紙である。さらに、紙の色は所望される任意の色（例えば、白）であり得る。しかし、特定の実施形態において、基材５０は、図２に示されるように灰色である。本明細書中で使用される場合、「灰色」という用語は、黒と白の間の中間無彩色（ｎｅｕｔｒａｌａｃｈｒｏｍａｔｉｃｃｏｌｏｒ）、すなわち、無色相色（ｈｕｅｌｅｓｓｃｏｌｏｒ）を指す。実際に、本発明の色票の本のページに対して灰色の基材の使用することで、白色基材上に与えられた色票に比べて、灰色基材上の色票に対しての方がヒトの目がより良く較正することが可能になることが発見されてきた。
Further with reference to FIG. 2 and paint chips published book page shown in Figure 2 may be known to include multiple color chips 20 placed on the substrate 50. The substrate 50 can include any suitable material (eg, paper, plastic, etc.) that forms a book page; however, the most used substrate is some type of paper. Further, the paper color can be any desired color (eg, white). However, in certain embodiments, the substrate 50 is gray as shown in FIG. As used herein, the term “gray” refers to a neutral achromatic color between black and white, ie, a hueless color. Indeed, by using a gray substrate for the book page of the color chart of the present invention, the color chart on the gray substrate is compared to the color chart given on the white substrate. It has been discovered that the human eye can better calibrate.

上で示されたように、本発明はまた、物品、例えば乗物（例えば、修理中の乗物を含む）上のコーティングの色と合わせるための方法に関する。これらの方法は、以下：（ａ）物品の表面に対して、上記の型のカラーツールを置く工程；および（ｂ）窓を通して複数の視角で物品の色を観察する工程、を包含する。これらの方法において、上記のように物品の色を観察した後、使用者は次いで、物品の色に対して最も良く合う色票を識別することが可能となる。使用者は次いで、選択した色票に一致するコーティング処方物を識別し得、再仕上げする工程の一部としてコーティング処方物を物品へ塗布し得る。本明細書中で使用される場合、「再仕上げする」という用語は、表面を改装する動作、修復する動作、もしくは、修理する動作、または、物品の仕上げ、すなわち、自動車修理の場合には、例えば、表面の調整、または、そのような修理に関連する物品の仕上げを指す。
As indicated above, the present invention also relates to a method for matching the color of a coating on an article, eg, a vehicle (eg, including a vehicle under repair). These methods include the following: (a) placing a color tool of the above type against the surface of the article; and (b) observing the color of the article at a plurality of viewing angles through a window. In these methods, after observing the color of the article as described above, the user can then identify the color chart that best matches the color of the article. The user can then identify the coating formulation that matches the selected color chart and apply the coating formulation to the article as part of the refinishing process. As used herein, the term “refinish” refers to the operation of refurbishing, repairing, or repairing a surface, or finishing an article, ie, in the case of auto repair. For example, it refers to surface conditioning or finishing of an article associated with such repair.
